Father's Day Gift Ideas for the Dad Who Loves Photography

by: Kristina Rust

Mother's Day is already behind us (and we hope you all had a fantastic one) and next on the horizon is buying gifts for dear old dad. Yes, Father's Day will be here before you know it. If you are looking for some great gift ideas for the photo lovin' father in your life, then check out a few of our favorites......

The Glif+--a Tripod Mount for the iPhone. If the dad in your life loves iPhoneography then this is one little gadget he is going to want to have handy. It will help him take movies without camera shake, take night photos and will allow him to get really creative by clamping it up high or down low. I can envision my husband clamping it to his bike when he rides downhill on the trails to get some extreme video footage. Cost: $49.95

A Lensbaby Composer Pro: While this lens can take some time to get used to, once mastered your photography buff can produce some creative, unique images. Cost: $399.95

GorillaPod Focus: This amazing, compact tripod can support up to 11.1 pounds and is perfect for the photo enthusiast that has everything. No more carting around a bulky tripod. This little beauty can go with you everywhere and anywhere. Cost: $99.95

These are just a few ideas for you at varying price points. If you would like additional suggestions on favorite lenses or equipment, please feel free to leave a comment below and we will get back to you.
